							<h3 id="sidebar-content-header">Physicians</h3>
							<p>By definition, a physician is a professional who practices medicine, which focuses on human health through the diagnosis, treatment and study of different physical and mental impairments. Physicians, who are known as specialist medical practitioners, focus their practice on particular disease categories, methods of treatment or types of patients. On the other hand, physicians who assume responsibility in the provision of medical care to individuals, families and communities are recognized as general practitioners. Trained physicians can either have a Doctor of Osteopathy degree or a Doctor of Medicine degree. </p>
							
							<ul>
								<li><strong>Doctor of Osteopathy (D. O.)</strong></li>
									<ul>
										<li>A fully-trained physician who, like a doctor of medicine (M.D.), is also licensed to practice medicine, prescribe medication and perform surgery. </li>
										<li>Has attended and graduated from an osteopathic medical school, in contrast to an MD who has graduated from a conventional (allopathic) medical school. </li>	
										<li>The major difference of a DO from an MD is that some DOs provide manual medical therapies, such as massage therapy or spinal manipulation, as part of the treatment. </li>
										<li>Most of the DOs use medical and surgical treatments that are also used by the MDs.   </li>
									</ul>
								<li><strong>Doctor of Medicine (M.D.)</strong></li>
									<ul>
										<li>A trained physician who practices medicine, diagnoses diseases, performs surgery, advises and prescribes treatment and medication for any human disease, injury, pain, ailment and other physical, mental, real or imaginary conditions of the body.  </li>
										<li>Generally a graduate of a conventional medical school and is required of a license to practice profession. </li>	
										<li>MDs may be found within private practices, hospitals, teaching facilities, public health organizations group practices, and health maintenance organizations.</li>
